I only wish the side finger hole was the size of a finger. Great sound, though; ringy but with the discipline of a concert tamb.
The Black Swamp SoundArt 10” Double Row Tambourine – 30th Anniversary Edition marks three decades of world-class tambourine making with an instrument as visually striking as it is musically exceptional. A matte white ash shell sets the stage. Toasted German silver jingles — heat-treated to develop a unique surface texture and a richer, more complex tone — give this limited-edition instrument a voice that is unmistakably its own. Sottsass-inspired engraving on each jingle adds an artistic flourish worthy of the occasion.
The toasting process intensifies the warmth and complexity of German silver in ways that are immediately audible: simultaneously familiar and entirely new. A premium translucent calf head brings the traditional responsiveness SoundArt players expect, and each instrument comes with a commemorative token marking the anniversary. A collector’s piece that plays as beautifully as it looks.
